Here are the tags I include in my JOSM preset for a species of tree I want
to include in OSM.
<key key="natural" value="tree" />
<key key="leaf_type" value="broadleaved" />
<key key="leaf_cycle" value="evergreen" />
<key key="species" value="Dipterocarpus alatus" />
<key key="species:en" value="Yang na" />
<key key="species:th" value="ยางนา" />
<key key="wikidata" value="Q140957"
<key key="wikipedia" value="en:Dipterocarpus_alatus" />
<text key="height" text="Height (m)" default=""
delete_if_empty="true" />
<text key="height_trunk" text="Bole Height (m)"
default="" delete_if_empty="true" />
<text key="circumference" text="Trunk Circ. (m)"
default="" delete_if_empty="true" />
<text key="diameter_crown" text="Crown Diam. (m)"
default="" delete_if_empty="true" />
<text key="ref" text="Ref #" default=""
delete_if_empty="true" />
My understanding is that the species tag is preferred to hold the Latin or
scientific name. The species:en and species:th variants hold the "common
name" in English and Thai but I'm sure there is disagreement and variations
here as well.
